The answer given to the question in the title is " Yes." Of 107 fellaheen questioned as to personal experience of dermatitis when at work, 87 said they had this. It does not affect foot and ankle, which are buried in mud, but is evenly distributed over the rest of the submerged part, and in most of those seen by Barlow there were tiny papules all over the submerged part of the leg. The itching usually lasts 3 to 5 days, with limits of 1 hour to 20 days after leaving the water, but washing in well water and then soaking in hot salt water stops all itching, and if there is no scratching, itching stops the sooner. Women washing clothes at the canal side had no itching, for, as they reasonably said, they used soap.A number of volunteers were deliberately infected with cercariae of the schistosome they already harboured, this was done under carefully controlled conditions and after promise that they would take treatment. There is a difference in the dermatitis caused by the two species." S. haematobiumproduced discrete spots of swelling which later became red, leaving red spots all over the area to which the cercaria-bearing water was applied. On the other hand,S. mansoniproduced general swelling, which later became red, leaving one large, red, swollen area where the application had been made. This swelling subsided later, leaving the papules looking just like those caused byS. haematoUum."C. L..
